A leading French journalist working for BuzzFeed was attacked by far-right Jewish extremists as a mob tried to storm the offices of the country’s national news agency in Paris on Thursday. David Perrotin was protected by police after being surrounded by a dozen masked men brandishing batons. The Ligue de Défense Juive was protesting against Agence France Presse’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Trouble broke out soon after 8pm when about 100 people brandishing flags and letting off flares tried to storm AFP’s offices. As the crowd approached the entrance to the building, opposite the Paris stock exchange, tear gas was sprayed in their faces, and skirmishes in Paris on Thursday. Some of the demonstrators were shouting “We’re coming to get you!” at journalists, while others screamed: “Islamic terrorists!!"

  • 8pm when about 100 people brandishing flags 
  •  BuzzFeed was attacked
  • in Paris on Thursday
  • protesting against Agence France Presse’s coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
  • shouting “We’re coming to get you!” at journalists, while others screamed: “Islamic terrorists!!"
In my opinion This is really unnecessary and the Jewish protesters should be a little sensitive towards the Muslims as they may be going through the same regret. The jesish thought that the representation of the conflict was biased and not an accurate coverage, this protest could push the french journalist working for buzzfeed to be more accurate with their news stories giving the people of france a higher quality news.
